is there a memorial thread of some sort?? I'm familiar with the user created goodbye threads, but is there anything for someone who's gone on without leaving a note or goodbye thread

Not an official thread, no. Partly because- if they disappear with no goodbye thread- how would we know they had died rather than just left the forum? Seeing as it's anonymous.

Also, I think listing actual deaths in one convenient place would be the sort of ammunition journalists love I imagine. Obviously, they could still go hunting themselves but, it would make it so easy for them to have it all in one place.

I know what you mean though. A memorial type thread is a lovely idea. I just think it would more likely be used for other purposes though ultimately.

Yeah good point. Didn't even think about it like that. Sometimes I'm so focused on myself that I legitimately forget how stuff like this is still considered "taboo" in 2025. Just like a little vigil or something would be nice. Everyone deserves to be remembered. Doesn't even have to be real name or anything doxxing like that

Occassionally, someone will post a 'Who do you miss' type thread:

Is there anyone from this forum who ctbed that you still miss?

And do you want to share more about your relationship with them?

sanctioned-suicide.net

That's maybe the closest thing.

Other than that though, it may be trickier than you would think. Who would actually know a member was considering leaving but them? Some choose not to make a goodbye thread, even a delayed one. Maybe in case their attempt fails. Would they want to sign up for being on a memorial thread if they weren't sure their attempt would work?

Also- you'll probably find yourself- if you start trying to research/ collate a list. Some members will just disappear with no clue to whether they just left or CTB. Some suggest suicude in their most recent post but then, they appear a few months later. Even after goodbye threads sometimes. It can be hard to know for sure sometimes. The sentiment is lovely though.
